Vibrotactile Assistive Device for Visually Impaired with Text to Braille Conversion Using Haptic Technology

Abstract

This paper explores the current technology and applications of vibrotactile devices used as an assistive tool for the visually impaired as effective information transfer modality emerging in haptic enhancements. Our main objective is to effectively encapsulate the foundational requirements for developing any vibrotactile haptic device based on existing and proven technology. We emphasize the efficient conversion of text to Braille based on established translation techniques while also shedding light on the human tactile perception capabilities. We then lay out the foundational guidelines for vibrotactile design for any emerging technology in the assistive haptics area with an emphasis on actuator types.
